Thanks to all those who reviewed. I'm probably gonna be working on this on a regular basis compared to my other fic called A Cosmic Beginning. But don't worry, I know what's going to happen in the next chapter of ACB. Since I have three hours to kill in between classes almost every other day, I have thought of a pretty nifty plot for it. Now all I have to do is type it. Easier said than done, right?

Warning: Major OOCs. Not that unusual since this is a humour/romance fic.

Disclaimer: Don't own; never will.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Relena stormed out of the classroom in a real hurry. She really had no desire to see and/or hear them making snide remarks about her misfortune. She wanted so badly to be with her beloved, but he would probably detest her even more. Who could blame him? She practically showed her assets to his friends. Oh, how will she ever live this down? She knew for sure that Duo wouldn't let her forget this incident. He'd tease her until the day she die, that much was obvious. The class clown had no qualms about making her suffer. After all, she'd been so snobbish to him and the other pilots, with the exception of her Heero and maybe Quatre, since day one. After squeezing through the crowded hallways of the school, she ran to her waiting limousine and ordered the chauffeur to drive her back home. She wouldn't go to her other classes today. She had to think about a plan to make Duo and that Usagi girl suffer. Maybe she could manipulate her older brother, Milliardo, to get some dirty info on Usagi. That way, she could blackmail her and maybe even make her her personal servant. She smirked as a wicked plan formed in her head.

The braided pilot of Deathscythe Hell approached Usagi, who was putting some books in her black messenger back. "Hey there! Usagi, right? The name's Duo Maxwell and those guys over there are my buddies. The blonde is Quatre, the one with the unibang is Trowa, the mean-looking Chinese guy is Wu-man, and the one in spandex is Heero. Watch out! You might wanna get away from the last two; they're pretty anti-social. You've been warned."

The girl giggled at this and they couldn't help but notice how melodic she sounded. Her eyes twinkled with amusement and her ruby lips looked so kissable. They must have died and gone to heaven because a beautiful goddess was standing right in front of them. Quatre broke them out of their thoughts when he spoke, "What do you have next, Ms. Tsukino?"

"Please call me Usagi. Actually, I'm going to the French café down the street to meet my bestfriends. I promised to treat them today. Would you like to join us?"

Heero surprised himself as well as his comrades when he answered, "Why not? We have study hall next period anyway. Besides, I need to take my mind off what happened just awhile ago. I'm probably gonna be psychologically scarred for life."

The guys, especially Duo, stared at him in shock. It was as if he had grown two heads. He frowned. Just because his responses were the occasional "Hns" and grunts didn't mean he wasn't capable of talking in complete and coherent sentences. He rolled his eyes. But still, he couldn't understand what brought about this sudden change in him. He bet the guys were thinking the same. Could it be because of Usagi? Had he finally fallen in love? But how could he? He had only met her today. He didn't even know anything about her, save for her name and why she transferred to this school. He tried to push his emotions, which he thought had long been erased by his mentor, Dr. J, deep down. He was scared of what he was feeling. The perfect soldier shouldn't be acting this way.

After a couple of minutes or so, the guys finally blinked. One thought rang repeatedly in their minds: Heero actually talked! What next? Would Heero ask a girl out on a date? Would Heero laugh? Would Heero do things that normal people do? Duo finally grinned. He had just realized something. Heero was in love. Not just with any other girl, but a goddess. He really couldn't blame him. After all, the girl was a complete looker and really nice, unlike that psychotic stalker by the name of Relena. Duo wanted to get to know Usagi a little better, but changed his mind. One of his best buddies had finally shown interest in other things instead of just life-threatening missions. And he knew he couldn't compete: Usagi seemed to be smitten by the perfect soldier as well. He could tell. The way her dazzling smiles lingered on her face when looking at Heero or the way she looked at him. He just hoped that Relena wouldn't ruin this budding romance.

Speaking of Relena, why did she seem hostile toward Usagi? They had just met and already the psycho was already shooting daggers and sneering at her. Was it because she knew Usagi could steal Heero from her? As if! It wasn't like he was hers in the first place. Really, that girl needed to get a clue and a life, for that matter. Just because she was the Queen of the World and now the Foreign Vice Minister didn't mean she could get whatever/whoever she wanted. Why the doctors gave them, especially Heero, the mission to protect her at all cost completely bugged the heck out of him. The girl was completely unstable. She would run around, yelling at Heero to shoot her. Or when she had the chance, she would glomp the Perfect Soldier until he was turning blue from oxygen deprivation. If only Duo could just do the honours of putting the pathetic girl out of her misery, he would gladly do it.

An irritated Wufei brought him out of his reverie. "Maxwell-baka, if you insist on staying here, then so be it."

"Huh? Where did everyone go?"

"They left five minutes ago. Geez, this isn't really the time nor the place to daydream you know. I swear, you're such an airhead. Don't forget: I still have to kill you sometime because of what you did to me," Wufei stated while pointing at his ridiculous hair colour. "And how many times do I have to tell you that my name's Wufei. Not Wu-man. Or is your brain too small to grasp that?"

Duo smirked. "Oh, I dunno. The way I hear it, the name Wu-man is perfectly fine. Doncha agree... Wu-man?" And with that, he scrambled out of the room, leaving a furious Wufei behind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two arrived at the café in no time since they were practically running a marathon; Wufei was chasing Duo like there was no tomorrow. They came to a halt when they noticed that the others were already seated and laughing amongst themselves. Wufei decided to postpone what he planned to do to the baka when Usagi beckoned them to sit at their table. Duo must have seen this and thanked his lucky stars that he and his most precious possession, aka his braid, were still intact.

"Ooh, that guy in the black suit looks like my old boyfriend," a brunette muttered to no one in particular. Hearts could be seen in those green eyes of hers.

Duo smiled as he approached her. Not only did he get to live today, he also found a lovely girl who looked interested in him. Maybe he should thank Usagi tomorrow. If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have met what he believed to be his soulmate.

Minako giggled and not so discreetly whispered, "Mako-chan, all cute guys you see look like your old boyfriend. Hmm, doncha think Quatre is a hunk? I swear, I'm in love."

Quatre overheard what she said and almost choke on a piece of bread he was chewing. When what she said finally registered, he blushed. In all honesty, he thought Usagi had beautiful friends. He wondered if the other guys thought so too. If only he had the guts to ask Minako out, he would do it in a heartbeat. But he didn't want to look like an insensitive dolt in front of her. Maybe he could ask Usagi for some help?

Trowa, on the other hand, was talking more than he usually did. He found out that shy, blue-haired Ami liked the same things he did. Listening to classical music, reading novels, and volunteering at the hospital were just a few of her passions. It seemed like it wasn't just Heero who got hit by one of Cupid's arrows.

Wufei, though he was scowling, was enchanted by the black-haired beauty beside him. She was what he wanted in a woman: beautiful, passionate, and most of all, not a weakling. He could tell that Rei, like Usagi, was special. But he wouldn't admit that. He was a proud young man. Still, that didn't mean he could just act rudely to her. After all, it was not honourable to disrespect a woman. His own beloved mother had taught him that. [A/N: No, he's not a mama's boy.]

Meanwhile, Heero was silent. He was having an internal battle. He was telling himself that he shouldn't be a complete moron by being a lovesick fool like Relena. But Usagi was different. No one had to tell him that. He could feel a certain connection to her. Did she feel the same way? He mentally kicked himself. You idiot! Emotions would just get you into trouble! Girls and Perfect Soldiers do not mix. Love would just be in the way of your missions. As he was thinking this, he was suddenly brought back to reality when he heard his companions laughing at what Duo was saying.

"There was another time when I spilled M&Ms all over the room, right, and Heero told me to pick 'em up or else... There was, like, a thousand of them scattered on the floor and I didn't want to stay up all night. So I took the vacuum out of the closet and plugged it in. The thing was, it wasn't working. After a couple of minutes or so, I decided to just take the thing apart and see what was wrong. Q-man over here stopped me and told me to call a repairman instead. So I dialled the number and this gruff guy asked me what my problem was. I told him, 'The LX300 vacuum sucks! Scratch that; it doesn't suck!' He probably thought I was pulling his leg or something so he told me off. Can you believe that?"

Everyone laughed at this, but their fun was rudely interrupted by a shrill cry. Standing near them was a deranged Relena. She was fuming in anger upon witnessing how close his Heero sat to that Usagi girl. And it looked like he was enjoying himself, too. How dare she mock a royalty? How dare she steal what was rightfully hers? She couldn't wait until she could show little miss nobody that Heero was hers and hers alone.

The former Queen of the World was about to slap Usagi when the other girls surrounded the latter in an attempt to protect her. All of a sudden, the tallest one held her by the collar and shoved the bratty Relena by the nearest wall. In a hushed but menacing voice, Makoto said, "You lay one finger on Usagi, and you're gonna answer to us. Got that?"

Relena whimpered and looked at Heero, hoping that he would save her from harm. Unfortunately, all she received was his patented deadly glare. She reluctantly nodded since she could not take the girl physically. But sooner or later, they would all pay her dearly.

When she finally disappeared, everyone went back to their seats. The fun had been dampened. Minako voiced what was nagging at her, "What was that all about?"

"Oh, Ms. Relena is obsessed with Heero. She wouldn't accept that he has no feelings for her."

"Relena? You mean, THE Relena? As in Relena Peacecraft?" Ami inquired. When Trowa nodded, she couldn't believe it. How could someone of such status act so horribly?

Duo turned his attention to the girl beside him. "Way to go, Mako-chan. You're definitely my kind of woman."

Makoto just blushed in response. Truth be told, they would protect Usagi not just because she was the Moon Princess, but also because she was their very bestfriend. If it weren't for her, they would have probably been alone all of their lives.

"That lady better not cause any more trouble. Royalty or not, no one hurts one of my bestfriends!" Rei hotly retorted. Wufei, feeling a bit bold, squeezed her hand. She was surprised at first, but smiled. She liked Wufei already.

Usagi was touched by how much the girls cared about her. They were like sisters, though not by blood. They have been like that since their first lives back on the moon. They would give up their lives for each other. They were bonded, be it mentally, emotionally, and/or spiritually.

Heero broke the silence and faced Usagi. He took ahold of her delicate, ivory-skinned, hand and, for the first time, spoke from his heart. " I would like to apologize for Relena's reckless behaviour. She's very possessive of me, as you can see. I've told her repeatedly that I could never return her feelings, but she's stubborn. I'm sorry for the troubles I've caused you."

Usagi looked him in the eyes and smiled. She understood him perfectly. After all, she had experienced the same thing with Prince Diamond. Though in the end, he redeemed himself by sacrificing his life to protect her from the treacherous Wise Man. "It's alright," she replied, "I think she just needs time to accept it. Sooner or later, she'll realize that both of you deserve to be in a relationship where you two are truly happy."

Minako agreed wholeheartedly. After all, she is the Goddess of Love. But she was worried about what Relena would do to Usagi. The girl was determined; that was obvious. She wouldn't be satisfied until Usagi was completely out of the picture.

Rei was thinking the same thing. During the confrontation, she felt a negative vibe emanating from Relena. And it was strong, too. It was pure hatred. What did Usagi, the person with the purest heart, do to her? Just because a guy rejected her didn't mean she could wreak havoc on other people's lives. Rei made a mental note to consult the sacred fire later.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

See? It's different from my other fic, right? There's romance already and it's not just with Usagi. All the girls are involved. Do you like it so far (even though the story seems pretty cliche and really fast-paced)? I know there's people who wanted to pair Usagi with somebody else besides Heero, but what can I say? Majority rules. PLEASE REVIEW. Thanks in advance!
